"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...
I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.
That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."
A 92-year-old North Carolina man got so bored 2 months into retirement that he applied to work at Chick-fil-A...
...his smile, kindness, and passion for Jesus became so contagious that when he got sick and missed 3 days of work, an ENTIRE TOWN began asking where he was.
His name is Gilbert Martin.
Everybody calls him "Mr. Gil."
Mr. Gil is 92 years old, and works at the Chick-fil-A on Oleander Drive in Wilmington, NC.
He spent decades working in the natural gas industry and when he retired, he greeted people at Sam's Club for 12 MORE years, until they eliminated his position.
Most people would call that a sign to finally rest, but not Mr. Gil!
Two months into retirement, he got bored... so he walked into Chick-fil-A and put in an application.
He was 86 years old at the time.
He's been there ever since.
Not one or two shifts a week either. Monday through Friday.
He says the full schedule gives him more chances to be there for people who need him.
His official job is dining host.
Clean tables.
Clean floors.
But Mr Gil doesn't see it that way... as he describes it, his real job is:
"I get a lot of people that are coming in, just been to the doctor, and got bad news... I'm able to be an encourager; the Lord gave me that."
A 92-year-old man who could be resting at home... chooses to stand in a dining room five days a week... so strangers on the worst day of their lives don't have to be alone.
And Wilmington noticed.
When Mr. Gil caught a cold and missed a couple of days, the owner said he was FLOODED with HUNDREDS of customers who were panicked about him.
Mr. Gil has zero plans to retire.
He says if you ever see him working, come say hi.
"I don't know what 92 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great. Serving others has always brought me joy because I believe that a smile and a kind word can make someone's day a little brighter.”
We need more of this in the world!!!!
You know how wives feel when their husbands cheat on them?
That’s basically what mom’s are doing to their kids when they choose their careers over raising their children.
They’re cheating on their kids.
@jcmeyer119@ContrarianSaver How tf do you know?
Tradespeople and people associated with the industry are smarter, wiser, stronger, and more equipped to operate day-to day.
Being White collar, with the exception salesperson)is like being a rat waiting for the exterminator.
“Higher education” is phony.
Alchemical Riddle, Late 17th Century
Mundi fundum si profundum
laborando inveneris,
Crede mihi, habes totum
unde beari poteris.
“If, by labor, you should find
the world’s profoundest depth,
trust me, you possess all
that can bring you happiness.”
Women are the enemy of civilizations because their loyalty is to survival, not principles. Women’s moral conscience is lower than men’s because their psychological development is based on shame, not guilt.
Men feel guilt as an inner punishment, while women feel shame as fear of outside judgment. Because of this, women’s behavior is driven by social survival rather than principles. This is why people say a woman has the prerogative to change her mind.
This leads to a lack of accountability and an inability to accept the truth. No matter how well arguments are presented, women hate the truth.
Women understand the world through their feelings, which causes shifting standards. Because of this lack of reason and logic, civilization cannot survive under female leadership.
Men build and women consume. Men build civilization, while women build families. When women rise in power, civilization collapses, as the proverb says, “the hen does not herald the morning.”
Women belong at the heart of the family because of reproduction. Men continue in their role as warriors, protectors, and providers at the family and national level.
Women are supposed to support society through reproduction and promoting family, but they are not doing so. This is a failure of duty to society.
The feminist desire to win without a clear goal and without understanding consequences weakens the state. The state becomes weak and is then conquered by stronger forces.
Women should not vote or hold positions of national importance.
@NJ132388@Mericamemed They do not have the constitution nor the genetic material to perform manual labor, maintenance tasks or really any craft of any kind other than scamming and being a pestilence to every area of the earth.
I’ve never trusted men who have an aversion to and disgust for the crass and the inelegant. The same kind of man who can’t enjoy the obscene (dark humour), low culture (hip-hop), or the crass (swearing) is a treacherous man, because he has no stomach for the ugly - he is a weak man, because rather than transmute the ugly into beauty, he patently rejects it.
He does not recognise dark humour as the transmutation of pain into joy, because he gets offended. He does not recognise hip-hop as a productive and artistic way to channel aggression and the atavistic will to power, because he views it as uncultured, and he doesn’t even tolerate cussing, because he wants too badly to be immaculate - his sense of hygiene is skewed in that it is not merely righteous, but pretentious. He thinks he is above ugliness, when in truth a man who never embraces ugliness is incapable of being beautiful.
He rejects some of the most fundamental tenets of the masculine spirit - that we become ugly for a greater good, that we cannot be great without trips to hell, and that going on such trips is violently messy. He, in his hubris, thinks he is above it all and therefore need not dirty his hands - that he is better than the men who enjoy such things, when really he is just a brat of the highest order. A snob.
The reason why we are drawn to this is becuase we know a human spent time creating this. AI can not recreate that feeling. Ever
